Lac Harvey Fishing near Leblanc, Quebec

• Overview

  You will find Lac Harvey in Mauricie, Quebec. This is boreal forest ground. It measures about 25 hectares, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. The whole outline is near 3.1 km, and most of it is walkable. Leblanc lies 21 km from the water. For a city, Saguenay is 236 km off. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Lac Harvey

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. County-wide records name northern pike, brook trout, walleye and yellow perch. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Lac Harvey the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from -17°C in January up to 16°C in July. This is a two-season water: locked, then wide open. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early May. In an average year the thaw lands around early May and the freeze near mid November. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Lac Harvey.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Lac Leduc sits 1.2 km off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Lac Harvey for certain.
